Third Drill23 Aug 2022 08:55
Rambler continue to add additional equipment, which is driving down overall costs as mining zones expanded:
'added a third drill to our program, called a "termite" or "packsack" drill, that is currently drilling short holes (up to 30m long) testing ore extents in and around currently developed levels of the mine. We are using the termite drill data to better refine our stoping shapes, drill and blast design and ground control systems. This in turn enhances the overall control that we have over the mining process and creates a more stable platform from which to produce. In the LFZ particularly, the termite drilling program is returning information that is enabling us to expand ore zones while maintaining production grade targets, hence returning increased ore tonnes available per level'
